What is Aidpage... People Helping People

You are a tourist on a city street... trying to find your way. How do you get help?

HELP YOURSELF

You use a map or a booklet with information about the city. That's ok... although... feels a bit like work... and is somewhat lonely.

PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE

You ask a passer-by for directions... Or simply, a passer-by recognizes your "tourist" behavior, stops on his/her own will and spends 30 seconds (often much more) helping you. You feel good. The passer-by feels even better. Witnessing onlookers feel good too. What happens is an easy, almost instinctive "give and take"... so natural that we don't even think about who "gives", who "takes", or why is this happening. This is not "giving"... people are just helping each other.

SO... WHAT IS AIDPAGE?

Aidpage is a free public space on the Web where you can:

--- Speak out about your problems and needs.
--- Act upon your need to help others.

I will pray for your situation, don't feel humiliated, everyone on this planet goes through tough times, we need to learn to receive help as well as give it, thats what life is all about learning to help our brothers and sisters in this world, and learning to be humble enough to receive help back when we need it. I think its one of the most important lessons of life and something GOD wants to teach us. I know things will get better, so keep on keeping on you can do it!!!

Hello my name is Thundrr. I am 24 years old and my family is having a really hard time right now. My fiancee and I have his 7 year old son, our 1 year old daughter, and another son due on Aug. 21 2008. He has lost his job and is having a hard time finding a job. Our son just turned 7 on june 1st and our daughter just turned 1 on june 2nd, and we still havnt been able to get them anything. our car is broke down, and now we have to move in the next month and come up with the money for that. I just dont know what to do anymore. We dont even have anything for our son due in Aug. We could use any help

Hello, my name is Diane. I am in a desperate situation. I have intestinal cancer and unable to work. Recently, my neighbor (who I thought was a friend) stole 1000.00 from me. She knows how sick I am, yet stole from me anyway. I used to sell old coins and money on ebay. Now because of my loss, I had no way to restock my inventory. I used what money I had left to pay bills. I have had no luck with the state. They help with medical bills and food stamps but nothing else. I only make 650.00 from social security. I am so far behind on my rent now that the landlord had started the eviction process. I have no family, as I became a foster child early in my life. I have no friends that can help either. I don't know what to do as I have no where to go, or money to move if I did. I am on a waiting list for section 8, but they told me I could be waiting 3 years or more. I wouldn't mind so much living in my truck, but I have a small dog and two sweet kitties. I know they're not children, but they are the only family I have ever known. After all my surgeries (12) They have given me the inspiration to keep fighting. If I lose them now... I don't know if I could keep fighting all alone. Please, if anyone could help please contact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. God Bless All !!

I'm from New York, and there are some hospitals out here that offer tuition free training for nursing if you agree to work in the hospital for a certain period of time following the training. I have a few friends who have done that and are still working at the hospital. Do any of the hospitals out there offer a similar deal?

I think this is a wonderful idea. There are so many people going without and so many who have more then they know what to do with. I work full time and still dont make enough money to get a habitat for humanity home for my family of five. Thats pretty sad because make slightly over minimum wage. I dont know how people are making it at all anymore. Its a battle everyday to pay my bills on time and I am slowly giving up hope of owning a home someday with the mortgage crisis and the fact that we barely make ends meet now. Its a sad fact that hard working, dedicate, loving parents will never be able to give their children the American Dream life style that generations of the past could. Until the wealthy are able to help the needy I am afraid to see how many families with kids our homeless shelters will consist of.

You're kidding, right? "invited"? when people extend "invitations," they don't ask to be paid.

This is my first visit to this terrific website.

I'm a single mom of twin teens, take care of my 84 y.o. mom, can't find a job, "overqualified" is what I've been told, 52 may be the real reason, no health insurance, one month behind on mortgage, one week away from utilities cut off, selling home items on ebay for $$, and diagnosed as schizophrenic and manic despressive.

My son applied for an academic program in DC where they go to class 6 days a week, debate current issues every evening, live in a college dorm, learn how our government works and earn a semester of credit if they pass the test. He is planning a law career to help the needy. He has to raise every dollar to go. He is writing every single person he can think of and is working to earn his money. He has a 3.5 GPA, will earn his Eagle Scout this summer and go on at least one Church Mission trip in the rural South. It would never dawn on him to post a request here for money to go to Europe on a sight seeing trip when there are posts up and down the page here from people who are just trying their best to keep a home for their children, food on the table and gas in the car to go to work.

Did you even read the plight of these families and individuals who have posted their stories here? After reading them, I am going to pray for these families because I am grateful for what I have and see that so many are less fortunate than our family.

Advice to you to go on your dream travel summer: Get a job. Do some local fundraising by seeing what you can do for others to earn a little money. Think it over again - is going to Europe this summer really all that important or would there be an opportunity in your community to help children learn to read, assist the seniors who have no one or raise a little money for those who are hungry?

Then Pray for those less fortunate than you. And be grateful for America.

I need help well more like guidance. I would like to know if anyone knows of any medical assisting positions in the Inland Empire, CA. Work has been so dry out here lately we are slowly but surely going broke. I have enough money saved to pay my rent for the next few months but after that if I can not find work I will be SOL. I would also like to know if anyone knows of any full scholarships out there for a Nursing program. I was on the honor roll and my GPA is 3.75 and I would like to further my career in healthcare but do not have that kind of money for school and childcare for my son. Please any little bit of information would help. Thanks in advance.
